Wayland To Probe School Bus Parking Options
School buses that serve town schools park at the municipal building. That space will not be available by summer 2022.
WAYLAND, MA — Where will Wayland park its school buses? The Board of Selectmen will soon host a community meeting to discuss the issue.
Right now, buses park at the Town Building. But the town is seeking a more permanent home for the vehicles after August 2022, which is when permission from the Zoning Board of Appeals to park the buses at the Town Building runs out.
At the same time, some town residents have raised concerns about where the buses will live due to traffic, noise and air quality concerns. According to Town Administrator Louise Miller, Wayland needs to find room for about 23 buses, 25 cars and a trailer.
